Week 53 BJF Nov 16

Yumm...warm German waffles.  I am sure they are not the same as our Waffle House, ha.

Schönen guten Morgen,

This last week has been somewhat exciting. 

We started with a visit from Elder Gary Sabine from the Europe area presidency (people in charge of churchy European stuffs). This was the third conference we’ve had this transfer which doesn’t happen too often. He was dropping doctrinal fire the whole time and really getting the missionaries pumped. 

The rest of our week was spent getting stuff put together for Brights Baptism. We were a bit worried about how it would turn out but the event went surprisingly well. Bright showed up early and even helped us set stuff up. He just kept smiling and talking about the peace he felt. He kept hugging everyone too. He’s fantastic and I’m glad to have helped him get this far.

Later that evening after everything was said and done we got our transfer calls. E. Yorgason got shipped to the exact opposite end of the mission and I got a new comp from a city about half an hour way. We drive through his old area several times a week. His name is Elder Bahr and he’s 2 meters tall. Er ist ein große Mensch.

Despite how short he makes me feel I think this next transfer is going to be a “huge“ success. The members here are probably going to make a “big“ deal about it. Hahaha

But in all seriousness I’m excited to work with him.

So far we’re still getting the hang of the new transfer but E. Bahr has been around the mission a bit longer that me so it’s going smoothly. He’s also my first companion from somewhere outside of Utah. From the great state of North Dakota. He’s basically a Canadian without a pet moose.

life in Germany is starting to feel normal. Which is strange. 

We’re still seeing miracles, I’m still learning some Spanish, still talking with crazy people, and it’s still getting cold.

You’re all beautiful, talk to you next week.

Liebe –Elder Fuller

3:Bright‘s baptism. (he was confused as to why we were taking pictures)

4–8:District shenanigans. We spent the day hanging out in Duisburg. Went to this weird sculpture called the „tiger turtle“

9:The german version of WaffleHouse

Elder Bahr is his new companion this transfer. Also from North Dakota, like me.  He makes Ben look like a shrimp!  They also got a huge shipment of Sister Missionaries this time around.  One is Sis. Fuller from Australia.

The Tiger Turtle looks rather like a climbable roller coaster.  

But it is fenced off in case anyone tries to defy gravity and fall on their head.

I love the view here. It looks like a brisk fall day.

All Elders are handsome no matter what they look like. It is the light of Christ that shines through their eyes and they all look so pleasant.
